A debut collection of interconnected stories explores the bizarre microcosm of the business of rock music, capturing a world of worshipful fans, egotistical and unbalanced stars, and crude A&R executives, in works about a rock goddess named Pussy who experiences a nervous breakdown, cults devoted to Karen Carpenter, and an MTV-sponsored séance to raise the spirit of a dead rocker. Original. 20,000 first printing.
